New double-paned windows and casements were manufactured to fit into the existing window design to match with the flat below. Solar shades are hidden above for privacy at night and light filtering during the day. Linear diffusers for the new HVAC system were installed above all of the windows in public parts of the home.
Purple thistles, California poppies, clover, and dandelions have all taken root in the roughly 10-inch-deep, lightweight humus and grape-husk soil in this 580-square-foot green roof. Designer Peter Liang says that he "wanted to plant a green roof for its thermal mass, but I wanted it to be as natural as possible."
